Subject: RE: [search-ws] proposal regarding stylesheet and http:accept parameters
|
I think this is a fine idea. I’m not sure it is worth codifying
in the standard, but would make a fine example somewhere in the body of the
text. Ralph From: Ray Denenberg,
Library of Congress [mailto:rden@loc.gov] I
have a proposal regarding the SRU stylesheet and http:accept
parameters. The
http:accept parameter can indicate sru, atom, rss, html (or other) but in
particular when it is html then the client is saying in effect
"format the results however you like and send back html". With
the stylesheet parameter, the client simply says "just send me
back this url in the <stylesheet> element" and presumably it
is a stylesheet at the client. My
proposal: if the client is requesting html, and if the stylesheet
parameter is also supplied (which given the current semantics wouldn't make sense)
let the stylesheet be at the server, and the request is for the server to apply
the stylesheet (assuming the SRU response format as input) and then send back
html. Or,
if you think that that overloads the stylesheet parameter, create a new
parameter. So there would be two stylesheet parameters: localStylesheet
and remoteStylesheet. In
any case I do think this functionality would be useful, in the case when an
html response is requested for the request to be able to include a stylesheet
at the server. (And if you are wondering if there is a use case, LC would
like to be able to do this right now.) --Ray |
